Midland Fire Department Response Policy
The classifications below cover the types of incidents to which the Midland Fire

responds. The number of units responding and whether the
response is an emergency or not is determined by the incident type.
If the MFD responds to a call and no one is home, a form will be
left indicating when the response was made, why, a brief description of
the problem and what was done to resolve it, if any action was
necessary.
